> My Comrades in Arms,
> Many of you may know that Lord Afshin is unable to be at Pennsic this
> year.  He has asked that I take his place as Captain of this year's team.
> I was humbled and honored by his request and I have accepted.  As Such:
> Please read the "new and revised" rules for this year as copied from the
> Pennsic website:
> "Ealdormere Unbelted Champions Tournament 
> Hosted by the Kingdom of Ealdormere. Each kingdom of the Known World is
> invited to field a team of 10 Unbelted Champions (along with an additional
> five alternates to replace any of the original ten no longer able take the
> field.) Marshals may only marshal when their kingdom is not currently
> fighting in the list. Each melee shall be to the last person standing, or
> if the opposing side yields. 
> One team shall be chosen and singled out for their acts of honour and
> courtesy, and shall be named the most chivalrous team and rewarded
> accordingly and will take equal honour as those who are victorious. 
> Entry requirements - Each Kingdom of the Known world may select 10
> combatants and 5 substitutes. All of the combatants must be authorized in
> Heavy Weapons and must not have received the accolade of chivalry. Each
> kingdom must also bring two knights to help marshal the tournament. "
> 
> What this means is; I have some VERY difficult choices to make in the near
> future.  Not everyone can be on the team this year.  Some of you who have
> been on the team in the past may not this year.  The difference between
> fighter x and fighter y, may be very small, but I will make every choice
> with the intent of putting the best team on the field to represent
> Atlantia.  I may ask you to be one of the 5 alternates.  Which means, you
> may not even get the chance to take the field.  I have been in that same
> situation in the past and I know that it sucks.  If I ask you to be one of
> the final 5, I hope you will be able to accept.  
> 
> If you are asked to be one of the starting 10, it would behoove you to
> ensure you, your rig, your weapons, are ready to go immediately following
> opening ceremonies Sunday, August 3.  A simple armor failure in round one
> could easily put you out for the rest of the tournament.  Once a
> substitution is made, that's it.  The original fighter can not go back in.
> 
> I hope to be contacting many of you directly in the near future and have a
> working list by the end of next week.
> 
> If you have any questions, please contact me directly.
> Please cross-post to any list you deem appropriate.
